The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. A dotted line represents approximately the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir agreed upon by India and Pakistan. The final status of Jammu and Kashmir has not yet been agreed upon by parties. The final boundary between the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan has not yet been determined. The final status of the Abyei area is not yet determined. A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). The size of the dots designated for small nations does not represent the maritime territory of the country but assigned to better locate the country on the map. International boundaries are represented by solid lines, armistice or international administrative lines are represented by dashed lines, and other lines of separation are represented by dotted lines.
*The methodology for the “NDC and child sensitivity study” explains how and why the mapping specifically looks at NDCs submitted to the UNFCCC NDC Registry. The study recognizes that some countries use other documents to describe child-sensitive actions and commitments, such as National Adaptation Plans and Adaptation Communications. Thus, the data here should be recognized as one input into a wider discussion on how governments are and can involve children and young people in climate plans, policies and actions and advance their rights, needs and services across sectors.For any questions, inquiries or partnership requests, you can contact us at [climate@unicef.org](mailto:climate@unicef.org)*The methodology for the “NDC and child sensitivity study” explains how and why the mapping specifically looks at NDCs submitted to the UNFCCC NDC Registry.
